by David ElfinAs is often the case, defensive tackle Barry Cofield had the best comment on how the New York Giants felt after beating the Washington Redskins 17-14 on Sunday but still missing the playoffs when the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 10-3."This is the most somber winning locker room you'll ever see," Cofield said. "That's because we fell short of our goals. It will take a little time, but I think we'll eventually look back and be proud we finished the way we did. it's definitely disappointing. We had opportunities, but we blew it and we have no one to blame but ourselves."
Those blown opportunities came the previous two weeks when the Giants lost a 31-10 lead with 8:00 to go and fell to Philadelphia 38-31 in the showdown for the NFC East title and then compounded that failure by turning a 14-14 deadlock in Green Bay into a 45-17 blowout defeat.
"It's kinda surreal that it's all over right now," said outside linebacker Keith Bulluck. "We had our opportunity the last two weeks and we put it in another team's hands. We got 10 wins and we're not going to be in the playoffs. We controlled our own destiny and we let it slip away."
